Dew Depends Not On Parliament.

Now One Of The Most Essential Branches Of English Liberty, Is The Freedom Of One's House. A Man's House Is His Castle; And While He Is Quiet, He Is As Well Guarded As A Prince In His Castle. This Writ Of Assistance, If It Should Be Declared Legal, Would Totally Annihilate This Privilege.

I Have Accordingly Considered It, And Now Appear Not Only In Obedience To Your Order, But Likewise In Behalf Of The Inhabitants Of This Town, Who Have Presented Another Petition, And Out Of Regard To The Liberties Of The Subject.

Dew Depends Not On Parliament.

Parliaments Are In All Cases To Declare What Is Good For The Whole; But It Is Not The Declaration Of Parliament That Makes It So.

Let The Consequences Be What They Will, I Am Determined To Proceed.
